(I don’t know which of these you’re supposed to share, but it’s a good community).

I asked this question a little while ago because I’ve heard the term but it’s not always clear what it is referring to. I think that similarly to ‘woke’ it is used in the context of ideological or political battles, so the definition is variable depending on the context. Opponents will likely have the widest definition since that way they can insult the largest group of people whose beliefs they disagree with, eg. “If you support Ukraine you’re a tankie”.

Words like ‘progressive’, ‘socialist’, ‘authoritarian’ are more appropriately descriptive if that’s what you’re going for. If you want to have an argument then ‘woke’, ‘tankie’, ‘SJW’, ‘karen/keith’, ‘snowflake’, ‘bootlicker’, ‘edgelord’, ‘redditor’ are good choices.

Ok. I’m not trying to get into anything here with you. I’ve said what I wanted to say.

There’s more! It looked comprehensive to me but just because it was a massive list.

I agree about snippy one liners but I’m also not invested in this topic enough to go deeply into it. Maybe not until someone engages. I just browse lemmy, I share thoughts. I’m just here to hang out. If I want to learn then I read a book. I try not to take this site or myself on this site too seriously. I also like how you responded in somewhat long form. I like that a lot, and I’m hoping one day I can join tildes.net and participate in longer conversations.

That said, I don’t think it’s a bullshit response and I don’t think I need to elaborate on how subsidies work or how deregulation has siphoned money from the public and given it to private companies. For me, it doesn’t matter why an individual chooses to pirate or how they justify it. I see it as a form of protest and anyone participating in the protest for any reason is doing it for the right reason.

I think it’s interesting that people jump to the defence of copyright, or question the morality of piracy on the grounds of what damage it might cause to creators and publishers. Tax laws - old (austerity taxes), new (lowered corporate taxes), and proposed (100% inheritance tax) are much more significant than any effect piracy will ever have. This is what we should be debating and arguing about, not with piracy. It’s peanuts.

We also pay for their bailouts and subsidies. Piracy is ethical.

Oh just community. User would be ideal, I hope that is widely advertised when it’s available

Couple tools in case anyone is interested:

off the top of my head, there’s this

domain/instances

eg.

lemmy.today/instances

There are other better ways to browse them probably

I basically switch to firefox until something I need doesn’t work, then I go back to chrome until they do something scummy. I’m back on firefox now and the experience is better than previously. I will probably stay and keep Chrome for “just in case” stuff or when I want a browser with no privacy/adblock extensions.

I think you would stop seeing new posts.

sdf has a few instances, they might be more resilient. I’m hesitant about the ones spun up by some random person who says they’ll keep it going forever, but at the end of the day I’m not too worried about switching instances when I need to.

This is a useful tool to re-sub to communities from a new instance: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

Not sure I’d broadcast server specs. Lemmy world has been plagued by DDOS attacks.
